Final Weekend: Fireworks

The summer brings fireworks in Japan.  There are fireworks every weekend.  This past weekend, since we extended our stay about 5 days, we were able to go to the second largest display in Japan.  The fireworks can be seen from our apartment building.

However, we decided to make the 15 minute walk to the river where they are let off.  The girls had a wonderful time (they love fireworks).  And, the fireworks display was wonderful.  The fireworks manufactures showed off a little (haha) toward the middle of the show and blasted fireworks that were shaped as happy faces, perfect stars and a face of a kitty.  It was a great show.

We left about 10 minutes before it was over - to beat the crowds - and it was a good evening.
